Pros

Open & transparent culture, organization is very cautious about retaining its best talent. Teams are very friendly and open to help. Chilled out atmosphere to work. It is commendable how WU is working with communities and helping underprivileged societies. Finally, the positive change is happening throughout the organization (hopefully its positive with all ebb and flow) at the moment which is going to restore disrupted business model of WU.

Cons

There is nothing called employee training or development program. These are initiatives taken by HRs but role of HRs in different offices is almost none. Organization seems to be not believing in employee educational assistance programs or mentor ship programs. Its like you want to keep a resource but do not want it to grow. It can be seen from top to bottom so many people sitting on the same place for so many years doing the same thing.
